Photoelectron and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy of benzotriazole adsorbed on copper and cuprous oxide surfaces

Synthesis and characterization of the fourth generation of zinc phosphate pigment in the presence of benzotriazole

“…According to the literature, appearance of zincnitrogen vibration at near 1170 cm À1 confirms complex formation between PZP and BTA [34].…”

Imaging Nanometre‐Sized Hot Spots on Smooth Au Films with High‐Resolution Tip‐Enhanced Luminescence and Raman Near‐Field Optical Microscopy

“…BTA is known to adsorb on metals through a partial chemical bond of the para nitrogen atom, to form closed monolayer films. [18,19] Raman spectra of these molecules are well known in the literature. [18,20] An advantage of using BTA as a field-strength sensor is that the molecules are not resonant at the excitation wavelength of 632.8 nm, so that experimental complications due to bleaching effects are avoided.…”

The roles of mercapto, benzene, and methyl groups in the corrosion inhibition of imidazoles on copper: II. Inhibitor–copper bonding

“…Such scenario was recently demonstrated for benzotriazole on copper surfaces [12]; the respective activation barrier for the N-H bond cleavage was calculated to be 1.14 eV on Cu(111) [12], which is significantly larger than the current E * values of thiones, and yet the dissociation was found plausible on more open surfaces and low-coordinated defects [12]. It was also observed experimentally that the H1 atom of benzotriazole is removed upon chemisorption on copper surfaces, including the Cu(111), even under ultra-high-vacuum conditions [23,46,[79][80][81]. On this basis, we can reasonably conclude that the current-mercapto molecules should exist in dehydrogenated (deprotonated) thiolate form on Cu(111).…”
